Rug Design Process

"I decided to accentuate the corners, and right angles…"
“I created the L-Rug, as I refer to it, to be used in a space where the user was to enter through one of two entry ways, on adjoining walls of a square area; so the circulation paths into the space created a right angle.

Since each of the large furniture pieces were to be placed in each of the corners, I decided to accentuate the corners, and right angles that were already forming within the design, and translate that rather literally into the rug pattern. Using a series of CAD programs to sketch ideas, I finalized the pattern, then made color selections, then created a detailed size guide of each of the separate pieces for the rug makers.”
